One Day In… Beach Bali
This photo was taken in 2015 when we visited Bali during March school holiday. The sunset at the beach near our hotel, Holiday Inn Baruna Bali was amazing. Imagine just listening to the sound of the crashing waves and admiring the changing of colours slowly. It makes me feel calm especially during this coronavirus pandemic where most of us try not to get out of the house too often. Calm and tranquility! My post on Bali – what to do and where to stay talks about activities you can do while in Bali. The post also introduced Holiday Inn Baruna Bali where we stayed during the trip.

Singapore Botanic Gardens – UNESCO Heritage Site
Singapore Botanic Gardens was inscribed as a UNESCO Heritage site on 4 July 2015. The whole of Singapore was in a celebratory mood when it was awarded this accolade. During weekends, this park is full of locals doing their jogging, running, walking, dog walking, children enjoying themselves and people having a picnic. If you are a traveller to this “little red dot” (Singapore) and you love to visit a park, then you should try to pay a visit to this park. Besides, it is also a great way for family bonding.

Petrosains, The Discovery Centre Kuala Lumpur
Petrosains Kuala Lumpur has been given the high rating on TripAdvisor’s reviews and on Google Reviews. It is one of the top attractions in Kuala Lumpur. I have been to KL many times but each time had given this place a miss. So I decided to plan a half a day trip to visit this highly recommended attraction from global wanderers as well as the locals, to see what the fuss is about. First, the location. Petrosains is located within the Petronas KLCC, in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. So it is very easy to find the place by public transport or taxi. In addition, KLCC has lots of retail…

A day in Lexis Hibiscus Port Dickson Malaysia
The kids were having a school break and we decided to go for a road trip in Malaysia and stayed in one of the award-winning resorts, Lexis Hibiscus Port Dickson.

So this time, I want to fulfil my dream of at least staying in a water villa once in my lifetime. Port Dickson is not too far away, about three and a half hours drive from Singapore. It is one of the coastal towns near Kuala Lumpur. Not a…

Science Center Singapore
I have been scratching my head to plan trips or programs for my kids during the six-weeks year-end school holidays. And then, there was an article about Science Center Singapore that my Hubby read and suggested to me to bring the kids there. So there we go! We had not been to Science Center for years so to our surprise that we found out the ticketing counters have moved to the right in front of McDonald’s. We only knew about this when a security guard asked us politely whether we were visiting the centre and the tickets could be bought at the ticketing booth in front of the McDonald’s. As…

A Day Trip To Home Of Swiftlets, Yong Peng Johor Malaysia

It is a Chinese delicacy and most popular tonic in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). I know, you must be wondering why on earth would I eat something that got to do with birds’ saliva? Eww….. (this was the reaction from my kids). Well, first of all, my parents did not explain how the edible bird nest came about when they gave it to me (I was a child then). All they said was “it…
